EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the picturesque town of Dunoon, likely taken in the roaring twenties of the 1920s. The vintage scene unfolds on the banks of the River Clyde, where a crowd of onlookers gathers to witness the arrival of paddle steamers. Dressed in their finest Victorian and Edwardian attire, they eagerly await the approach of these magnificent vessels, their steam plumes billowing into the sky. The steamers, with their tall funnels and ornate decorations, glide gracefully up the river, their powerful engines humming in the background. The boats, a common sight on the Clyde in the early 20th century, were a popular mode of transportation and a symbol of luxury and elegance. The lantern slide photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the essence of a bygone era. The image transports us to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of watching the boats come in were enough to bring joy to the people of Dunoon. This photograph is a treasure trove of history, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the rich maritime heritage of Scotland. It is a testament to the enduring allure of the River Clyde and the boats that sailed its waters, and a reminder of the beauty and charm of a time long past.
